Toy Safety

Brands in Balance and our supply partners understand that toy safety is of paramount importance to Canadian consumers and retailers. We share a mandate to ensure that the highest level of safety standards are met or exceeded all along the supply chain – from the factory floor to your living room floor. Our US based supply partners test their products to meet or exceed US testing standards. These standards currently met or exceed Health Canada’s toy testing safety requirements. Brands in Balanceis an active member of the Canadian Toy Association and we support their ongoing work with both the International Council of Toy Industries (ICTI) and the Toy Association of America (TIA). Kate Baldwin (our president) is a past president of the Canadian Toy Association and currently sits on the board as a director. As a CTA board member Kate is actively involved in the pursuit of maintaining and ensuring Canadian Safety Standards regulations are adhered to by suppliers of children’s products to the Canadian market. Also, Brands in Balance partners are encouraged to carry 3rd party audits and testing certificates for products and their production facilities to ensuring unbiased, regulated testing to US safety standards. These standards currently met or exceed Health Canada’s requirements. For more specific safety information please visit…
